I don't usually discuss my presidential choices

although for the last few decades they've been democratic...

It may be because I'm from Vermont and lived in Burlington while Bernie was mayor, but I'm fully in support of him (and Hillary).

Does Bernie have "the package" to get him to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave? Don't know, suspect too much resistance, but I want to give him as many opportunities to shake it up as possible. So far I've donated to his campaign and ordered some products (t-shirts). I'm psyched to see him hopefully start to rock some of the GOP off their pedastals.

I think Hillary will snag the presidency. I doubt she'd pick Bernie as VP, as that is usually used to shore up untapped markets (e.g.: appeal to the whoevers) butchaneverknow, she might rock it with him. Looks like fun no matter where you cast your eye, as repubs are seemingly at a loss to pull a candidate together (because of their own doing over the last 20 years, no surprise).

and unless O'Malley seriously muddies the populist waters, Sanders will shock them with a very good showing.

His crowds show that people are interested in hearing their own concerns voiced instead of listening to canned speeches calculated to please the pundits.
